19:33 - Marcel Hubregtsebtw if you want to hear some really off the wall covers when compared to the originals listen to this split [link]

19:32 - Marcel HubregtseYeah that's a great cover. Loved at first listen when I got hold of the vinyl version of One in Darkness, Two in Damnation, Three in Death, 2002 - 2007 compilation on their tour in 2013.

10:39 - Ace FrawleyShit, just read this on Twitter: Due to some recent activity that we as individuals have zero tolerance for, Danny Walker is no longer the drummer in Intronaut. What the hell happened?

I usually don't like compilations albums because sometimes they don't have songs which i like a lot and instead of that have songs i don't like that much, so i was thinking should be great that a band asks their fans for their favorites songs to be into an album like that. So, being Opeth my favorite band, and due to they don't have a compilation album i though should be great to know what their fans think about what is their idea of the perfect Opeth's compilation. In order to do that imagine Opeth and Roadrunner Record come to you and tell you: "Tell me 12 Opet's song you consider must be in a compilation album but following this rules:
1.Must be a song of each Opeth's album
2. You can't pick more than 2 songs of an album"

Its already been created, its called Still Life....unfortunately I think that breaks the rules of the thread...so here goes:

1. The Moor
2. Demon Of The Fall
3. The Lotus Eater
4. The Baying Of The Hounds
5. Deliverance
6. By The Pain I See In Others
7. The Drapery Falls
8. Reverie/Harlequin Forest
9. Serenity Painted Death
10. Coil
11. Harvest
12. Advent

A true compilation for me would be merely Deliverance/Blackwater Park/Still Life and then maybe a few songs off of Ghost Reveries...I guess I'd consider myself a fan of them, but more of those albums in particular. Most other albums of theirs only have 2-3 songs that impress me from each one.

I think the creator of the thread should keep a table of all the songs people mention descending by popularity. This would make this thread very interesting. Something like this one. No need to make as complex though.

I cannot find myself completing any list. That's like asking any dude what his favorite vagina is? (Sorry ladies!). It's all fucking good! Well, I would at least leave out more of the Ghost Reveries material. Great thread though! For those who can decide anyways.

Do you mind keeping your voice down, sir, this is a family website.

I had a hard time with the thread simply because of the guidelines. I find Opeth songs are a lot better in context with the rest of the album they are from, so it's hard to choose a maximum of just 2 from each album.

I typically hate compilations, unless the songs are reinvented (Magic and Mayhem by Amorphis) or are unreleased demos or singles (Louder than Bombs by The Smiths), because it's just a random jumbling of songs that kills any sort of potential flow that I love from albums. but if I have to choose then:

1. Ghost of Perdition
2. When
3. Windowpane
4. Godhead's Lament
5. Forest of October
6. Drapery Falls
7. By The Pain I See In Others
8. Folklore
9. Burden
10. Hessian Peel
11. To Bid You Farewell
12. Baying of the Hounds

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree (Martin Luther).

I think the best idea is to never ever have a compilation album for Opeth at all. Each one of their albums has a theme, some are even concept albums which specifically have a story, in which each track is an essential chapter. The flow of the albums is also extremely important, so it wouldn't make sense to have a compilation album.

I'd probably mix the order around for better flow, but really in order to have a good flow they should really just be heard within their respective albums. Anyway, those are some of my favorite Opeth tracks.
